Dan Aykroyd Says His ‘Ghostbusters 3’ Will Happen…Eventually
Ray, you can’t reason with Zuul…
Sometimes it’s hard to say goodbye to something you’ve worked years on, which appears to be the case with Dan Aykroyd’s Ghostbusters 3 screenplays that are now defunct.
With Columbia Pictures moving forward with their all-female Ghostbusters reboot, and with Paul Feig taking the reigns, the long-gestured third entry is now a pipe-dream of an idea that will leave us fans wondering what could have been if Aykroyd reteamed with Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson and the now deceased Harold Ramis.
Aykroyd appeared on an episode of the Sirius/XM show “Unmasked with Ron Bennington”, where he says we don’t have to dream – because it’ll happen, one day.
“Oh, I’ve written… well, we have…I’ve written, well, there’s three drafts of the old concept that exists,” he stated. “And we’re going to be able to salvage some of it and use it. Yeah, we’re gonna be able to use it some day. Let’s get this one made and that will reinvigorate the franchise and then we’ll go on to maybe doing a more conventional third sequel as we were planning and another idea I have for it.”
There’s no way in hell this version of the movie ever happens, especially with the death of Ramis, and the difficulty of Murray. And with a new franchise start underway with Feig, the old Ghostbusting crew will remain in past where some say they belong. Not even pretending to be a God will change that.
South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan, “Human Vapor“) is back this summer with a new outbreak nightmare in Colony, and the official trailer teases a violent new infection nightmare.
Colony bites into theaters on August 28, 2026.
The South Korean horror movie follows Professor Se-jeong as she is thrust into a terrifying hellscape when a mutating virus is unleashed during a biotech conference, forcing authorities to seal the facility to contain the outbreak. Se-jeong and a group of survivors must fight to stay alive as the infected undergo horrific transformations and threaten to spread the virus.
Colony marks Gianna Jun’s (Blood: The Last Vampire, “My Sassy Girl”) first feature film since 2015’s Assassination. She stars alongside Koo Kyo-hwan (Peninsula, Escape from Mogadishu).
Ji Chang-wook (“Healer”) and Shin Hyun-been (“Hospital Playlist”) also star.
The viral outbreak horror movie is rated ‘R’ for “bloody violent content and some language.”
Colony is presented by Showbox and produced by Wowpoint and Smilegate.
Based on the new trailer below, Colony might be Yeon Sang-Ho’s most visceral and bloody yet.
